I try not to read Frontburner if I can help it, so you’ll forgive me for linking to this, posted by former People Newspapers managing editor Stacey Yervasi, until just now. Guess there’s nothing wrong with Mustang Donuts? Think Dunkin’ Donuts will offer this service?

Tonight at the University Park City Council meeting, there will be discussion of Karl Kuby’s request to install a large cuckoo clock above his restaurant. The clock would project 8 feet above the parapet wall and be 6 feet 7 inches wide.

While a sign featuring moving parts might be distractive and create unnecessary clutter, it could also enhance the eclectic ambience of the shopping center and make it more interesting for shoppers and pedestrians.

Will the council consider revising city ordinances to let Kuby’s go cuckoo? The meeting is at 5 p.m. tonight in the city’s doublewide at Goar Park. Stay tuned.

Omg, the head German lady just asked them to move. Developing.

Merritt shares what she’s heard. I don’t know if her source is the waitress at Kuby’s:

“Balls Hamburgers in Snider Plaza is either closed or closing…now for the news: Dunkin’ Donuts is going in that space! Not a bank.”
